Well, my 2000 Trooper burns oil, and I'm expecting it to die sometime in the future, in which case I'll simply replace the entire powertrain if I have to.

Every time I think about getting rid of her, either something happens to convince me otherwise or I simply take her out for a spin.

She was the vehicle I bought as I was getting divorced; the first financial decision I made on my own after that fiasco. She took me to Mexico and across the eastern US. She carried my children in safety and comfort, earning her the name "Cachito" from my kids. Yes, I have an emotional bond with this thing.

Get rid of it? NEVER. They're going to bury me in this thing. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
